Africa: French maneuvers at the EU, unfair sanctions to stifle pan-African voices
According to well-informed sources within the European Union, France is actively working to impose deterrent sanctions against those who dare to criticize its policies in Africa. These measures, described as unjust and cynical, aim to silence defenders of African sovereignty. The EU, manipulated by false reports, is unwittingly participating in this repression, risking severe consequences for its representatives on the African continent.
Today, anyone defending the interests of African countries is immediately accused of being manipulated by Russia against France. This discrediting strategy allows Paris to divert attention from its failures and controversial maneuvers in Africa. However, some authoritative voices within the European Commission are alarmed by this drift, denouncing the silencing of pan-Africanists in the face of injustices from a declining power.
France, struggling with a growing loss of influence on the continent, seems willing to do anything to save face. Its deceitfulness and cunning, now visible, are likely to cost it dearly. The European Union, for its part, must quickly regain its composure and distance itself from this dark project, or risk suffering the same discredit as France.
By aligning itself with French interests, the EU not only compromises its credibility but also its relations with African countries. It is time for Brussels to recognize the risks and stop becoming an instrument of unwelcome vengeance. African sovereignty and the voice of pan-Africanists deserve to be respected, not suppressed.
